Barrel threading in Omaha?

(1/2) > >>

AJ_Engineer:
Anyone have recommendations for a gunsmith in/around Omaha to thread a Savage MkII .22LR barrel for me? Been putting it off a while and need to get it done. I tried calling Omaha Gun & Machine today but the number came up as disconnected.

I would prefer to do it locally otherwise I will just send it out to Adco or similar.

Thanks,
AJ

SemperFiGuy:
You might try a guy in Omaha named Ron Miller.   Phone: 402 393-4536.

Ron chambers and threads raw factory barrel blanks into 6mm PPC.    [6mm PPC shooters support their sport by the money they save on targets.   They just shoot through the same hole, over and over and over.]

Ron lives over by Canfields.   Has a full machine shop.   Very approachable individual and a real craftsman at what he does.

Either he will do the work or will know of someone who does.

is there a machine shop that knows guns but will take work if they aren't your friend?

disregard, coworker has a lathe in his garage  :kiss:him (no homo)

The owner/machinist at Omaha Gun and Machine passed away about a year ago.

I believe I met Ron Miller at the Bullet Hole one day after he asked who threaded my Ruger MKII. I haven't seen his work, but he _seemed_ knowledgeable and like a genuinely nice guy.
